Description
DEAP-3600 is a WIMP dark matter direct detection experiment located at SNOLAB. The detector consists of a 3.3 tonne volume of liquid argon instrumented with 255 photomultipliers attached to an acrylic vessel to detect the scintillation light produced by nuclear recoils. DEAP-3600 has set world leading limits on spin-independent WIMP dark matter interactions on argon and most recently the first direct detection constraints on Planck-scale mass dark matter with multiple scatter signatures. A summary of the experiment and these results will be presented.
